I first saw the Dance Theatre of Harlem when they were performing Firebird in New York City. It was in the early 1980s and it is still my favorite dance performance, ever. I recently had the opportunity to photograph the company from the wings at Jacob's Pillow. What a privilege!

One of the great editorial pleasures I have ever had was shooting the Backbone feature for Berkshire Living Magazine. It gave me a chance to illustrate an interview with a person who was a "backbone" of the community in one image and I was always encouraged to have fun with it.
I am often asked, "So, how much can we can get done in a day"? I offer up this very productive day of classes and portraits for one of my favorite clients, Bard College.
